Mohsin Salya is no longer wanted by the German authorities. Peter Singh Virdee, alias “Batman”, faces extradition to Germany

A British man, Mohsin Usmangani Salya, has been sentenced to three years and three months in jail. Carbon Pulse reports that a court in Germany found Salya guilty of carbon credit VAT fraud.

In April 2016, the German police issued a call for information about three carbon credit fraud suspects. The men were wanted in Germany for money laundering and tax evasion. Two of the men, Ashraf Muhammad and Mobeen Iqbal, are from Pakistan. Mohsin Salya was the third.

between August 2009 and April 2010, he acted as a person behind the scenes and leading member of a gang committing a so-called VAT chain fraud scheme on the basis of CO2 emission allowances for greenhouse gases and thus caused a loss amounting to EUR 136,563,336 to the detriment of the Federal Republic of Germany.

SALYA is suspected of causing damage in excess of EUR 125.6 million to the detriment of the Federal Republic of Germany between September 2009 and April 2010.

In June 2016, Salya turned himself in to the authorities in Germany to face criminal proceedings.

In September 2016, a court in Frankfurt am Main set aside the international arrest warrant against Salya.

In November 2016, the German court convicted Salya of “serious tax evasion”, an official with the Frankfurt prosecutors’ office told Carbon Pulse.

REDD-Monitor wrote about the German Police’s call for information about Muhammad, Iqbal and Solya in April 2016. Three weeks later, I received an email from Aadiel Salya at the Salya Group. He wrote, “You have wrongfully written your blog”. He requested that I remove it.

An arrest at Heathrow

On 10 January 2017, police arrested Peter Singh Virdee, a British businessman. Virdee was arrested shortly after he arrived at Heathrow airport on a flight from Abu Dhabi.

He faces extradition to Germany and a possible 15-year sentence. Virdee is accused of fraud and €125 million in unpaid VAT on sales of carbon credits.

Prosecutors in Germany allege Mr Virdee was one of the “central organisers” of a criminal enterprise to defraud the authorities of VAT on carbon credits under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.

The 43-year-old businessman operated “in the background” and took pains to conceal his identity, prosecutors claim.

He was allegedly known to other members of the group behind the fraud only as “Batman”.

Virdee claims that his company B&S Property has more than £4 billion in assets. Virdee has met the Queen. He’s a visiting Professor at Manchester Metropolitan University. He’s a major donor to the Conservative party. He’s met Al Pacino. And he drives a Bugatti.

“I knew from the beginning it was fraud”

The investigators in Germany had long been interested in Virdee, according to a recent article in the German magazine Der Spiegel. But they could only issue an arrest warrant after one of the other people accused spilled the beans.

The Spiegel reports a confession in a Frankfurt court at the end of last year. “I knew from the beginning it was fraud”, he said. “I had lost everything and had large debts.” The accused received a sentence of three years and three months.

At first business was slow, he said. But when “Batman” got involved, things picked up. One witness explained that in 2009 “Batman” used his contacts in Deutsche Bank to provide a direct contact to fraudulent emission traders in the bank’s London branch.

Virdee denies any wrong-doing. He put out a statement in response to the Spiegel article about his arrest:

Prof. Virdee categorically denies these allegations. He has never been involved in carbon trading let alone in any kind of fraud. While he is happy to co-operate with the authorities he intends to defend himself fully against these allegations and the attempts to extradite him to Germany.

Virdee’s statement adds that,

It appears that the only basis for the making of any allegations against Prof Virdee is from a statement given by a convicted fraudster, who entered into some form of plea bargain in return for implicating other people, including Prof Virdee, in the alleged fraud.

On 18 January 2017, Virdee appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. An extradition hearing was set for 31 March 2017.

@Musa Patel
Are you the same Irfan Musa Patel from Preston who sold his liberty for a few million quid from the Salya clan to keep their name out of your investigation. I say this as it seems you know things in depth that only a person involved in the same investigation and litigation would know.

It’s amazing how people can say fake news. Just the thought their hero might not be as unblemished as they thought is too much to bear. Do any of you that worship the guy know his back story? How did a kid from Aston Birmingham end up as wealthy as he did? No biography anywhere explains. From what I’ve heard from people that have known him from day one, he’s a fraudster through and through. From before his days of the orange vitarra. Those who know will know what I’m talking about.

@Sam Exactly. Can’t find anything about how/where he started, just that he started a property company most likely after the fraud allowing him to invest in property as he had already made the funds. Kid from Aston worth billions but not one article/interview of a large company or a liquidation that allowed him to make the fortune. It’s obvious most of these guys mentioned haven’t made legit money, look the majority of Billionaires, most of their wealth is explained for, from the companies they started or invested into.

shocking how many people suck up to someone with money, even if they know it is not legitimate and even more shocking is the person playing the religion card to show and earn respect when it is not due.

Virdee is a known fraudster in the underworld. He has been involved in VAT fraud since his early days in the Midlands. He has always been known for using pawns for the dirty work and always staying behind the scenes. He was also involved in another similar carousel fraud with his close friend Mono Sandhu https://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/27/customs_vat_fraud/

Virdee has been involved in heavy money laundering activities with his cronies Bath and Thakrar.

He is a very clever man. His name never appears anywhere, but it takes a simple question and investigation into how his money was made and you will see it clearly.

Two top businessmen Zulfi Bukhari and Peter Virdee, in partnership are the main funders behind Imran Khan’ s election campaign in Pakistan. The issue is that Khan is backed by crooks. The two men, Bukhari and Virdee accumulated their funds through fraudulent activities carried out in Germany France and England. The funds funelled into Khan’s campaign is dirty money. They have over Euro 500 million siphoned into this campaign.

– How do you know that Peter Virdee is funding Imran Khan’s election campaign? You provide a link about a fund-raising dinner for Namal College that Peter Virdee co-hosted. But that doesn’t prove that Virdee is funding Khan’s election campaign.

– How do you know that Bukhari and Virdee have given €500 million to Khan’s election campaign?

– How do you know that Bukhari and Virdee have raised money through “fraudulent activities”? You provide a link about Virdee being arrested in January 2017, but that case still hasn’t been heard.

On 30 March 2017, Der Spiegelpublished a piece about Virdee – the day before the hearing was supposed to take place. I have heard that Virdee managed to get the hearing date changed to 27 March, to avoid media attention, and that the hearing was then adjourned until 17 May 2017. But I’ve not been able to confirm any of that. If anyone has any more information about Virdee’s extradition hearing, I’d love to hear about it!

Haha – peter Singh the ultimate criminal frauster. You were doing this all the way back at Matthew Boulton College with your brother happy – you and the credit card frauds with Fonz leathers and then the washing dirty money through your nursing home in Preston. Once the accountants do a forensic analysis of your business , sources of income, tax payments – crime never pays – even though you try and act like a devote Singh – a leopard never changes its spots

REDDisms:

“REDD is willing to depict indigenous forest peoples as noble savages to be rewarded for their stewardship of nature – but, as with historical others so depicted, only as long as they do not resist containment within REDD’s incipient provisions for property reform, monitoring, labor discipline, ‘participation’, ‘consultation’ and ‘free prior informed consent’. If they do resist, they risk being redefined as obstructionist and environmentally destructive.”
